Quick Cheap and Green
After publishing the feature on Martha Schwartz here in Archinect, her and I continued a conversation on the issues that have lead to today's increasingly despoliated built environment and landscapes in America. This conversation lead to my doing some of the research and writing for the upcoming
Quick, Cheap, and Green book.
2004-2007
architecture 2030
I worked side-by-side with Ed Mazria for many months, developing the rational and the approach that has placed Architecture 2030, and The 2030 °Challenge, at the forefront of any dialogue on climate change and the built environment in the US.
Responsible for research, writing, editing, and graphics.
